Were there ever any female pilots / FEs? Or did any women pilots ever fly Concorde?

Barbara Harmer at British Airways.
The first female Concorde airline pilot.
She became F/O on Concorde in 1993.
After the end-of-service, she continued to fly 777s with BA.
.
B\xe9atrice Valle at Air France.
After a long career as a pilot, she finally was selected for Concorde... and then the Paris crash happened.
But she persisted, and in the end she did 35 return flights CDG-JFK before the final end-of-service.
She then became captain on 747s.
Apart from Jacqueline Auriol , well-known French 'aviatrice' and test pilot, who flew once on the Concorde prototype, I do not know of anybody else.
And no, there is no record of any female F/Es.

The world has only ever had one Concorde female flight crew member, a really wonderful lady who is known as Barbara Harmer. Barbara was an SFO on the BA Concode fleet, joining us in 1993. You can read all about her here:

After she eventually left the Concorde fleet, Barbara became Captain Harmer, flying the Boeing 777 for BA.
Oops ChristiaanJ, never knew about B\xe9atrice Valle, salutations to her also.
